Alphabet - beginning letter O (short sound)
1. Present the Letter
O Activity Worksheet and Mini Bookprogram. Read suggested instructions for using the worksheet
and mini-book.
Letter O words: This page and matching mini
book can be used as part of Letter O program of activities
to reinforce letter practice and to identify related O words.

Discuss other letter O words (soft g sound) and images (refer to activity
worksheet above): First 'brainstorm' and
ask the children about other words that have that beginning sound and
write them on a board (dry erase board) as the children come up with
examples. You can print letter O in a different bright color to
make it stand out. If you have illustrated alphabet books you
can also use images in them. You can also display letter O posters and
coloring pages or make a letter O classroom book. For

*Finger and Pencil Tracing:
*Trace letter O's in upper and lower case with your finger as you also sound out the
letter. Invite the children to do the same on your worksheet. Encourage the children to trace the dotted letter
with your choice of sharpened crayon, fine tip marker, coloring or regular pencil
and explain the direction of the arrows and numbers (on the
upper right corner) that help them trace the
letter correctly. During the demonstration, you may want
to count out loud as you trace so children become aware of how the
number order aids them in the writing process.

*Find the letter O's: Have the children find all the
letter O's in upper and lower case on the page and encourage them to circle
them first. Visit each child to make sure they
have identified the letter O's and then discuss the locations with the
worksheet.
